Bio
One minute and forty seconds into The Rs single I Love My Family bassist Pietro Paletti unleashes a maniacal scream that lasts a little too long and reveals something important: The Rs is a band on the edge of its sanity.
To really appreciate that, you have to see the trio from Milan, Italy in concert. The song ends, but the band breaks into a thundering jam. Pierluigi slices his guitar through the air with the look of a detached gangster. Pietro drives the head of his bass into the stage floor. At the drums Mauro smiles, surprised to find the band still perfectly on beat. During their New York debut an audience member said, I like it when they go crazy.
On the album De Fauna Et Flora The Rs transform their internal chaos into glistening pop songs that range from self-assured On Our Minds, Call Of The Ice, to exploring Turtles Will Mind Your Fate to diabolical Mr. Hide. Rodolfo takes a psychedelic tropical escape and We All Need To Be Alone turns loneliness into a celebratory anthem.
Having risen to the top of an underground indie rock scene in Italy, The Rs played their first US shows this spring in New York and at the SXSW music festival in Austin. With their sharp Italian style and delirious rock energy the band is prepared for a worldwide invasion. Look for their album De Fauna Et Flora and whatever you do dont miss them in concert.
